Embassy Exhibition Program
Partnering with German and Australian arts organisations, galleries and museums, the Australian Embassy Berlin has hosted more than 40 group and solo exhibitions by contemporary Australian artists since our exhibition program commenced in 2010.
We are committed to putting Australia’s diverse art and culture into the spotlight, with a focus on sharing and promoting the stories and unique knowledge of Australia’s First Nations artists.
Current exhibition: “memory mirage” by Thea Anamara Perkins
Thea Anamara Perkins is an Arrernte and Kalkadoon artist whose practice incorporates portraiture and landscape to question representations of First Nations peoples and Country. With a delicate hand, Thea answers heavy questions about what it means to be First Nations in contemporary Australia, and interrogates portrayal.
Thea’s middle name Anamara is an Arrernte word that describes a river and a Dreaming that runs north of Mparntwe (Alice Springs) – the place that keeps calling her back and has been the wellspring of art and activism for her family, and by extension, the nation. Perkins continues her family’s commitment to what she calls “strong and ready communication” and is part of an extraordinary dynasty of First Nations activists and creatives that includes activist Charles Perkins (her grandfather), Arrernte elder Hetti Perkins (her great-grandmother), curator Hetti Perkins (her mother) and acclaimed film director Rachel Perkins (her aunt).
Raised and based in Sydney, Thea has family ties to the Redfern community and has worked in a broad range of community projects. Thea was the recipient of the 2023 La Prairie Art Award, administered by The Art Gallery of NSW, and won the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship in 2021, and the Alice Prize and Dreaming Award in 2020.
